Ginger root?

in 1st Trimester
My husband swears by ginger root as he has stomach issues and is nauseated a lot. It is just a walmart brand capsule. He keeps trying to get me to take it because I have had m/s something fierce, but I am afraid to and I don't have my first appointment for another 2 weeks. Does anyone have any knowledge of them being safe to take?

    ginger is fine..if you dont want to take the pills if you are afraid they have other ingredients, you can buy a hunk of ginger, cut off a piece and leave it under your tongue for a little, or they sell crystalized ginger you can eat, it's dried, candied..actually pretty good.

    They are safe, yes. My midwife (and MANY friends) recommended that I take (in addition to my PNV) a B6 and a Ginger Capsule to avoid nausea. Of course, you may wish to call your Doctor.

    You can also put a sliver of fresh ginger into some hot water for ginger tea.

    Thanks for your input, I am going to try one and see how it goes. Google is indecisive, one site says yes and the next says don't. Gotta love the internet.

    I bought some ginger syrup to make tea with, and it said right on the bottle "cure for morning sickness". It is like a GODSEND!!

    I agree with PP. If you get fresh ginger and just cut off a piece and boil in hot water. Ahhhh, that was such a relief!
